Government Spokesperson Mohammad Momani stressed the Kingdom's rejection of the presence of an Israeli police unit inside Al Aqsa Mosque, calling on the Israeli authorities to remove all forms of military presence inside Al Aqsa Mosque complex — known to Muslims as Al Haram Al Sharif.

"Jordan does not accept that Israel has set up a police station inside the compound. It is a flagrant military violation of the freedom of worshippers as well as an interference in the affairs of the Jordanian Islamic waqf" (Islamic endowment).

Momani also called on Israel to ban the "military tourism" activities launched last year, saying that such provocative policies are in violation of international conventions and pose a threat to peace efforts.
